dsc810 - its interesting that the S92 goes for strip gauges for the engine and system instruments, and clock dials for some of the primary flight instruments, whereas with the 225 and L2 its the exact opposite, clock dials for all system and engine gauges and strips for primary flight instruments.
Both sets of pilots of course get used to what is presented to them, but it would be interesting to trial, with brand-new-to-both-types pilots, both the S92 and EC225 layouts. My feeling is that the clock vs strip is not the primary consideration, its the overall layout in terms of logicality, intuitiveness and absence of clutter that is the more important factor.
